@Anonymous You're absolutely right. I read through the questions but not as far as number 13. Should have kept going. Apologize.
However, I have a good answer to your question now and it's an easier one than any of your three solutions. Even though you are only RDP for 2/3 of the year your status as "married or not married" is determined by your status as of December 31st. So, since you were RDPs prior to December 31st you are considered married for community property purposes for the entire year. No dividing by days is necessary.
